Eagles’ Legend Dead (What would you think?)

“Multnomah County Library offers free and legal music downloads; one of the country’s oldest eagles dies”

The Oregonian lead jumped out at me. Wow, who died? Was it Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh, Timothy Schmit, Don Felder, Randy Meisner, Bernie Leadon?

There Goes The Greens (Fred & Shane)

Ribbit, Ribbit

Dear Lord there is something as bizarre as Frogs in your greens: it is the craziness and adoration of Fred & Shane Dawson. These animated little guys foster pure adoration or hatred. I just find it all miraculous that the power of this medium has never transferred one infinitesimal bit to my efforts. So, I lack the theatrical, the absurd (pretty much), the imagination (Fred The Movie) and boyish charm. So, I will sit in obscurity like the frog in the greens. Hopefully getting more air.
